Recycled robots on display at the Estes Valley Library

The Estes Valley Library invites kids and adults to create a recycled robot using their imagination.

Rules for your creation

Each robot will be made from recycled, reused, repurposed, or broken materials. This is not an expensive project! You are encouraged to use items that you have around your house. Some items to consider might be cans, milk jugs, magazines, egg cartons, cereal boxes, old computer parts, hardware, lids, etc. Here are some guidelines for this project:

• The robot must be friendly.

• The robot cannot be more that 18" tall and 12" wide

• The robot must be light weight in order to be secured to the library's wall with Velcro.

• The robot needs a name and a job. Please write the information on the Robots on Display form which is available at the public library.

• Write your name, age, and phone number on the information form

Bring your robot to the public library during prize award time (Monday 3 to 4 p.m., Wednesday 3 to 4 p.m., Thursday 11 a.m. to noon, Saturday 10 to 11 a.m.) and receive a coupon for a Dairy Queen treat. Deadline for receiving the robots is Friday, July 18. All robots will be on display at the public library August through September. Robots may be picked up in October. Those not picked up by Oct. 31 will be recycled.
